has a population of between $500 and 4000
people. IL lies about q mile and a quarter
from the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and on the banks of Lake Charles.
II has an elevation Of about eighteen feet
above the sea level, and has an exceptionally
low death rate. On the opposite side from
the town the Caleasieu river runs north and
south. Il Is ! Wide, handsome stream, navl-
gable inland for a distanCe, by water, Of $50
miles although, from Its serpentine course,
this Is only equivalent to sixty miles by land.
The Caleasieu river Is ag a rule surprisingly
deep, often over sixty feet From Lake
Charles TO the Gulf It flows a distance of
sixty miles, where its navigation Is impeded
by two bars, one inside and one outside. OF
these the inside bar Is at present an insur-
mouRtable obstacle, ib 10 absolutely impAss-
able by craft Of any kind while on the outer
or sea bar there Is a depth of about seven
feet. There was canal through the inner
bar which admitted Of q certain amount of
traffic, but the terrific storms of last fall eGm-
pletely destroyed Il and left the river virtual
ly closed at its mouth. During the last hours
Of the Interstate Agricultural Convention
motion was carried asking Congress TO appFo-
pirate sum for the removal of the bar 1t
ig TO be hoped that the national government
will accept the proposition. CslGasieu can
be made a valuable and beautiful public
highway, and It's opening TO commerce would
vastly increase the business of the towns as
well as Of the great lumber business on its
banks.
Serious efforts will be made 10 obtain
favorable consideration of this matter and In
connection with It Lake Charles latest en-
teTplise calls for comment.

Two OF the most successful gatherings the
State has known for many day-the Inter
state Agricultural Convention last February
and the State Press Convention in June
have brought Lake Charles prominently be-
fore the reading public. The advertising the
town has received in consequence has been
extremely well deserved, for the delegates
have In each case been received with degree
Of intelligent hospitality that has reflected
credit upon The entire State.

that these lands offer wonderful advantages,

When cleared the pine lands are good for
Agricultural purposes and most ereditable
crops are raised. Such lands are usually In
